[QUOTE="Dean95CobraR, post: 34401, member: 198"] Your front braking hardware is not the same as the '99 Cobra. The Brembo calipers are much wider than the PBR equiped Cobra. Since I put the Brembo kit on the R, I can not use the aftermarket rims that I had for the '99. 1 - The '95 Cobra R rims will fit on your car. They are 9" wide so they easily take a 275 width tire. They run less than $200 a piece and are pretty strong. They are a little heavier than some aftermarket rims though. Fred at Steeda told me that their 17" Ultralights will also work with the Brembos. They are also less than $200 a piece. 2 - The 275/40/17 are very close to the same diameter. Right around .100" difference in total diameter. Every tire company carries this size. 3 - Less than a percent off. :D You can go here to compare tire sizes - [url]http://128.241.204.42/garage/tire_calc.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
